As a former program officer in day school finance at AVI CHAI, I was privileged to have worked with both Bloom and Natana Shek Dor, Director of Montreal’s Generations Fund on similar efforts. Having recently joined the Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC) as V.P. of Program and Strategy, I am pleased to be working with Shek Dor and the Montreal community again. But this time for the benefit of Jewish camps.
FJC has partnered with Shek Dor and the Montreal community to elevate Jewish overnight camp and increase the number of Montreal children who are attending nonprofit Jewish overnight camp. For instance, FJC partnered with the Montreal community Federation CJA Generation Fund to bring the One Happy Camper incentive grant program to the community, providing Montreal children with up to $1000 off their first summer at camp. Nearly 850 Montreal children have benefited from this partnership. Our work with the Montreal community continues to explore ways to help middle income families afford Jewish camp. Our partnership extends to the camps, with FJC providing a series of institutional strengthening workshops and opportunities for area camp professionals and lay leaders.
For Montreal’s Jewish camps, the best is yet to come!
